MTL - Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan-Chapter 25 A Midsummer Night's Haunted House
This Li Jijun doesn't seem to be very disciplined. Shiraishi suddenly feels that his image has been harmed... well, it's not considered a victim. Judging from the number of cases in this world, he will inevitably be late for school in the future.
Miyano Akemi walked to her desk, picked up a stack of documents, and turned to greet Shiraishi:
"Let's go together? I'm only ten minutes late. If we start now, then I'll win."
"Okay." Shiraishi thought to himself that it was no wonder Miyano Akimi immediately thought that he wanted to skip class when he heard that he had a cold. It turned out that "I" had a lot of late records.
Shiraishi didn't know what materials to bring to the class, but fortunately there was a ready-made example in front of him. He also picked up the materials on his desk and went to the classroom with Miyano Akemi.
This would save trouble, and he wouldn't have to look for them one by one.
…
Professor Hirota came in by stepping on the class bell, never too early or too late, and was extremely punctual.
The old scholar with white hair and beard, as Miyano Akimi said, completely forgot about Shiraishi's absence from class.
The class was lackluster, Shiraishi pretended to be listening while observing his classmates.
There were a total of seven people in the classroom. Except for Miyano Akimi, Shiraishi only had some impression of a senior named Suzuki Ayako.
Mainly because of her surname.
—Although there are many people in the island country with the surname Suzuki, this is the world of famous detectives after all. Mentioning "Suzuki" here does not immediately think of the Suzuki Consortium and Suzuki Sonoko.
Having an impression means that the person has either been exposed to a murder case or will be exposed to a murder case in the future.
Mixed in this research room, Shiraishi seemed to have seen countless tasks rolling in.
…
There are two classes this afternoon. During the recess, Professor Hirota just went out when Miyano Akemi took out a bento box from her small bag and nibbled at the diced fruit.
Halfway through the meal, she looked at the sunset outside the window and sighed sadly: "It's getting dark earlier."
"Yeah, after all, the summer solstice has passed." But don't worry, it might get darker and later, Shiraishi asked casually, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
"It seems that you only have the essence of your teacher." Miyano Akemi gave him a helpless look, "I'm not afraid of the dark, didn't I tell you, it's on my way home, I have to pass that...that what..."
"Which what?"
"That's it!" Miyano Akemi looked out the window and said in a terrifying tone like discussing Voldemort, "That old mansion in 4-chome!"
Shiraishi looked at her stunned.
Not scared by her tone.
But as soon as Miyano Akimi's voice fell, a familiar exclamation point suddenly appeared above her head.
...the task was triggered at this time.
Seeing Shiraishi's reaction, Akemi Miyano backed away with satisfaction and recalled:
"It seems like four or five years ago. When I came home one evening, I found a cordon around the old house. Later, I heard from the neighbors that the owner of the house was hacked to death.
"After the male owner died, his widow and children moved away in a hurry, and the house remained empty. Later, the tragedy was never solved, and the lonely owner turned into a ghost, often screaming in the middle of the night, and many people heard it.
"Someone called the police, but after the police went to investigate, they all said that there was no one in the house..."
Bai Shi supported his head with one hand: "It's all rumors, the sound is caused by the wind in the hall, don't think about it."
"It's not just the sound!" Miyano Akemi said mysteriously, "I'm also a witness to the supernatural phenomenon. When I went home a few days ago, I saw with my own eyes a ghost fire floated past the window of that old house!"
